Why

two accents

why two accents 217.107.106.18 (talk) 20:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious vandalism.

Section on "17th to 20th centuries" jumps from deportation of Jews under Nazis in 1944 to 1980s Slobodan Milošević and the Kosovo War of 1990s.

Clearly, entire section of history went missing.

Apparently, GreenLipstickLesbian got up at early one Saturday morning and "presumptively deleted" whole chunks of the article into oblivion and uselessness. Must have been SOME Friday night.

I mean, I had drunk my share in my time, but I never ended up deleting decades of history because of that. 109.175.104.40 (talk) 19:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, 109/175.104.40, and thank you for coming forward with your concerns.

I know it's a bit inconvenient, but if you read the sections above, the material was added by a user (Tetovario, alia CheddarB23) who repeatedly and egregiously violated the copyright of numerous authors and text, sometimes creating false attributions in an attempt to cover up their behaviour. I'd already removed several examples of copyrighted material they had inserted. Unfortunately, it became necessary for me to presumptively delete large sections of content that they added. Which, yes, I know hasn't left the article in a great state, but Wikipedia is a work in progress! If you'd like to chip in, please feel free! Because the history is all still there- the only thing that's left to do is for somebody to look at the sources and write some new, original, content with facts from them.
